Udon Entertainment appears to be teasing a long-awaited continuation of Archie Comics’ Mega Man series.
Director of Publishing Matt Moylan tweeted an image featuring the number “56” presented in the traditional Mega Man stage-select style, along with the message, “Announcement coming at San Diego Comic-Con.” The implication seems fairly clear: Archie’s original series ended with issue #55, and Udon may be preparing to pick things up with a brand-new issue #56.
Nothing has been formally announced yet, but this would continue Udon’s ongoing efforts to bring Archie’s Mega Man comics back. The publisher is already reprinting the series under the new Mega Man Adventures label, which also includes new material from members of the original creative team.
Archie’s Mega Man came to an abrupt end in 2015, leaving several storylines unfinished. Fans have spent more than a decade hoping the series might someday return.
We’ll learn more at Comic-Con!
EVEN NOW THERE IS HOPE FOR MAN!
ReplyDeleteThis would probably be the biggest thing to come out of Udon for Mega Man stuff if they brought Archie Mega Man back.
ReplyDeleteOn EVERYONES souls this is happening we are SO BACK
ReplyDeleteI just want the trades to cover all 55 issues and finally get that world's unite crossover as a trade
ReplyDeleteIt was just getting good with the Protoman arc so I'd love to see it get continued.
ReplyDeleteI thought Archie Mega Man was never coming back. Gives me hope that Archie Sonic will come back and fix Sally. But nevertheless, this is a win.
